The Finuda Experiment: Status and Perspectives

Abstract

FINUDA is a hypernuclear physics experiment that will be carried out at DA$Φ$NE, the $e^+e^-$ $ϕ$-factory currently in operation at the INFN Frascati Laboratory. The apparatus, which is assembled in the DA$Φ$NE hall, consists of a magnetic spectrometer with high resolution tracking capabilities. In this paper the status of the experiment is presented, together with the main features of the apparatus and of its physics program.
